Flower Mound Town Council approves $583K contract for arts center
Looking ahead
Flower Mound officials said they are hopeful the arts center will bring more traffic to the River Walk area, having worked on the project for several years. “This is going to bring a lot of vibrancy to that area,” Mayor Cheryl Moore said.
Progress on a proposed arts center within Flower Mound’s River Walk development is being made with the selection of the architecture team for the project. Council unanimously approved a pre-design services contract with architecture firms Hoefer Welker and Bora Architects Oct. 6. Flower Mound and Denton County officials selected a design team in June, said Brian Waltenburg, Flower Mound’s director of public works. “In scoping the design, we realized that while we know generally what the facility is going to be, the workshops and community engagement is going to help determine [the facility’s programming],” he said. “We don’t know what the design is until we do all of this.”
The pre-design contract will cost Flower Mound $583,500, according to town documents, and will include:
Updating the existing market assessment completed in 2020 Updating the existing business plan completed in 2021
Phase timeline 1 Pre-design: 15 weeks 2 Schematic design: 12 weeks 3 Design development: 16 weeks 4 Construction documents: 18 weeks 5 Permitting, guaranteed maximum price generation and bidding: 18 weeks 6 Construction: 24 months (expected spring 2029 opening)

Lewisville ISD officials plan to repurpose Mill Street Elementary School into the district’s second early childhood education center for the 2026-27 school year, according to a turnaround plan for the school, following multiple years of low accountability ratings. The Texas Education Agency requires schools that score multiple unacceptable ratings, D or F, to submit a turnaround plan, according to LISD’s website. Mill Street scored an F for the last three consecutive school years. District leadership released a turnaround plan for the school in mid-October. The plan states current students will be reassigned to higher performing campuses based on zoning and program availability ahead of the 2026-27 school year.

Samantha Fitzpatrick, LISD’s director of communications, said some faculty and staff will be transferred to other campuses as part of the turnaround plan. All LISD employees will remain employed by the district. One of the principal causes of the low ratings is high teacher turnover, forcing experienced teach- ers to spend time training new teachers, leaving less time for instruction, according to a presenta- tion from Chief Schools Officer Lori Litchfield at an Oct. 6 work session. “There has been turnover at Mill Street in the past three years,” Litchfield said. “In the past three years it’s been 54 total, and in the past two years it’s been 35.” Litchfield added that of the 35 teachers that left in the last two years, 23 of them either retired, chose to pursue higher education, changed career fields, got new jobs, left for personal reasons or moved out of the district. Other factors affecting the school’s rating are low parent engagement and persistent classroom disruptions from students, per the presentation.

Several schools, including Vickery and Forest Vista, have only one class exceeding the cap.

Phase 1B totals 22.64 acres on the property, which will include 140 townhomes and open space lots.
Both first phase site plans for the mixed-use Brookview development, which sits on 240 acres in western Flower Mound, have received approval from town officials. Flower Mound Town Council approved the Phase 1A site plan, which requested a sign face square area and landscape buffer exceptions, Oct. 6, while the planning and zoning commission approved an exception-free Phase 1B site plan Sept. 22. The approved Phase 1A site plan will allow for an area of 80 square feet for lettering of Brookview’s main entrance signs, below the initial request of 106 square feet. City officials previously expressed concerns about the size

132 townhomes in Lakeside East
1 full-service hotel with up to 128 rooms in Lakeside East 64,000-square-foot office building in Silveron Park 15,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space in Silveron Park’s first phase 43,000 square feet of retail in Lakeside East 200 apartment units in Silveron Park’s first phase
Two mixed-use projects, Silveron Park and Lakeside East, are set to build out in southern Flower Mound, adding more mixed-use living options in town. Council approved Lakeside East on Oct. 6, after other Silveron Park projects got greenlit in August and September. For individuals entering town from Grapevine, the area serves as the “southern porch” into Flower Mound, Town Manager James Childers said. Jimmy Archie, a managing partner at Realty Capital, Lakeside East’s developer, said the updated proposal accounts for community feedback, such as density and traffic concerns. “I appreciate Jimmy for working with us to remove the multifamily to address our concerns on the density,” council member Chris Drew said. “This is a vastly improved project.” The Class-A office space within Silveron Park is expected to be “highly desirable” because of its proximity to restaurants and residences, Director of Economic Development Ray Watson said.

Going forward
The impact
Watson said that despite other proposals that fit the area’s base commercial zoning, town officials have held out for higher quality developments. Flower Mound officials said they hope the devel- opment will boost the town’s daytime population since many leave the area for work. “When you don’t have that during the day, it’s hard for a restaurant to stay open for lunch,” Watson said. The full-service hotel within Lakeside East is also expected to expand the town’s supply of hotel rooms and increase associated hotel occupancy tax revenues to the town. Officials said they plan to use hotel occupancy tax revenues for festivals, such as Fall into Flower Mound, that draw visitors. Additionally, local business owners and nearby residents, such as Clayton Flurry, support the Lakeside East expansion, saying it would be an upgrade over what current zoning allows. “The last thing we want is another strip mall,” Flurry said.
Lakeside, Silveron Park timeline
Future development in Lakeside Village and Lakeside west of FM 2499 includes another residential tower and Marriott Autograph Collection hotel, Archie said. “You want to avoid too many lulls when you’re trying to build a place like this,” he said. Further phases of Silveron Park will include retail and restaurant uses and office space.

Clink Wine Bar + Bites serves dishes catered to wine
Clink Wine Bar + Bites owner Laura Black aims to bring a restaurant experience to wine lovers, she said. “Our food menu has been intentionally designed to be curated to go with our wines,” she said. What’s special about it? Since starting the restaurant in May 2021, Black has expanded the menu, added cocktails and introduced a wine club experience. “There’s an attention to detail and to the craft of making a really great cocktail,” she said. “That theme just ows through everything we do from our beers, our wines, our cocktails [and] our food.” One example of a cocktail they make is the Dr Pepper old-fashioned, which includes Dr Pepper simple syrup made in-house, Black said. Additionally, the wine club is a membership that includes two bottles of wine a month, tasting notes and a recipe to try with the wine, Black said. Clink sta does two educational pairing events a month featuring a four or ve course meal paired with wine, spirits or beer, Black said. What’s on the menu Every week, Clink features dierent dishes, wines and cocktails, Black said.
“Those are interesting [and] dierent,” she said. “This is our way, food-wise, for our chef team to get to play.” Popular items include albondigas, or meatballs covered in tomato cream sauce with an olive oil baguette, the Nashville hot cauliower tempura, which is a vegetarian option with Cajun coleslaw, arugula, pickled shallots, corn aioli and tortilla strips, and the sweet and spicy shrimp, an Asian-inspired shrimp where they hand-bread the panko, Black said. The restaurant also serves a brunch menu on Sundays, which includes stued French toast with berry ricotta, topped with whipped cream, berry compote, and powdered sugar, she said. The wine bar features 16 wines on tap, four beers on tap and 25 wines by the glass or bottle, Black said. The wines get rotated out, with Black bringing in special wines for guests to try. Looking ahead Black hopes to expand Clink around the Dal- las-Fort Worth area. “We do like to be your neighborhood local hangout, but we also like to attract people outside of just Lakeside,” she said. “We’re probably staying right now within DFW for a while, but if the right opportunity comes up, never say never.”
The interior has teal-colored seats and a selection of wines to choose from.
